Could the forum be improved?
Is anyone else frustrated by the way the scroll bar is? Instead of being able to use the main scroll bar on the window you are in, you have to use another scroll bar on the actual forum page. It's annoying. I really think this forum could be improved.
This is the only forum I use that frustrates me and some I use are forums that have been created for free.

Webbo is good to us, but there's a lot he can't do, it's down to the tech people of Warner Group, and we're not a high priority until there's a major breakdown.

It is frustrating sometimes, but I've become resigned to it.
I was expecting that to say get rid of the bliddy wimmin.
I have found also that I can't view TB on my iPhone - I can only see half of each post, the rest is off to the right and so I can only get a 'gist' of what is being said.
It's ridiculous in this day and age. Still don't understand why we can't have a forum on another place and leave the rest of Warners here.
however, i may be able to see about getting the font smaller now i can actually see... that will help.
We don't get a lot of spam; we don't get nuisance posters. Sunday mornings are no-post hours, because the techies are playing, but other than that, what's wrong with it? We all post, we all share - it does what it says on the tin without any bells and whistles.
I don't use any scroll bar - I use the mouse.
We have to have the forum provided by the magazine owners. I used to belong to the allaboutyou site owned by Hearst: they had to shut it down because of the huge amount of spam and spoilers, and the resultant ill-will of some of the users. No forum is perfect, but it's the content that matters, surely.
Matbe it's different in different browsers?
What are cursor buttons?
Well, that's what I call them. I mean the up/down/right/left arrows on my keyboard which moves the cursor around.
And as for browsers, I like Duck Duck Go over Google - it doesn't track you and you get no annoying adverts because of it, mysteriously offering you the items you were just browsing.
